Chapter 3319: Suddenly Feeling Sorry for Withering and Flourishing Elder

In the Beast Emperor's words, the treasure ground used by Withering and Flourishing Elder for Spirit Plant Rebirth was like a vegetable garden—plant whatever you want.

As he spoke, the Beast Emperor began erasing Withering and Flourishing Elder's soul imprint.

While working, the Beast Emperor explained, "This treasure ground actually has another name: the Spirit Rotation Blessed Land."

"Once a Spirit Rotation Blessed Land is formed, it cannot be moved or stored in a rules world. It must remain where it is."

"So, Brother Lin, think carefully about what you want to plant. It's best to plant something that doesn't require much care. Anything planted here, whether flowers, grass, or trees, can become spiritual entities."

The Beast Emperor explained the uses of the Spirit Rotation Blessed Land. Anything planted on it could survive.

Even ordinary rice planted here could become spiritual rice, a treasure for cultivation.

In the Great Daos beyond, some people used it to grow various spiritual materials and grains.

The Spirit Plant Rebirth secret technique essentially preserved a final trace of vitality after death. Then the being was replanted here, using the unique properties of the Spirit Rotation Blessed Land to revive them.

This secret technique was only effective for plant-based lifeforms and required a special method to separate a trace of true spirit. Only then could a trace of vitality be left behind after death.

Withering and Flourishing Elder controlled this trace of true spirit, which essentially meant he controlled the life and death of all Dao Venerables in the Hundred Herbs Alliance.

Lin Moyu pondered the Beast Emperor's words, considering a possibility.

He didn't have any seeds to plant, but if not plants, could he plant something else?

Lin Moyu asked, "Are there many Spirit Rotation Blessed Lands in the Great Daos beyond?"

The Beast Emperor said, "Not many, but not too few either. There used to be many of them, but their numbers decreased after that catastrophe. Fortunately, they are not consumable resources. As long as some remain, they can continue to be used."

"So this thing isn't particularly precious in the Great Daos beyond, but on the Origin Continent, it's quite rare. Brother Lin can make good use of it."

As he spoke, the Beast Emperor successfully erased Withering and Flourishing Elder's soul imprint.

The Beast Emperor's soul level was higher than Withering and Flourishing Elder's, so erasing his soul imprint wasn't difficult.

Even Lin Moyu could have done it himself—it just would have taken much longer. It might have taken years to wear it down.

Having the Beast Emperor handle it was naturally better; it only took a few minutes to complete.

With the soul imprint erased, the Spirit Rotation Blessed Land became ownerless again. Lin Moyu quickly left his own soul imprint on it and completed its refinement.

The Beast Emperor said, "Take your time deciding what to plant; there's no rush. Let's keep moving. I remember Withering and Flourishing Elder had something good here that he probably didn't take with him."

The two walked past the Spirit Rotation Blessed Land and deeper into the valley.

The deeper parts of the valley were lavishly arranged. Withering and Flourishing Elder had lived here for countless years and had made his home quite comfortable.

It was clear that apart from Withering and Flourishing Elder himself, there were usually no outsiders here.

Lin Moyu stood in the valley and scanned it thoroughly but found nothing unusual for now.

There were no formations or hidden places; the entire valley was visible at a glance.

The Beast Emperor lightly coughed as a drop of blood flew out from within his misty aura. The Beast Emperor's blood radiated astonishing power; even space around it warped.

Just this one drop of blood was enough to crush a Dao Venerable below fourth level.

Then the blood began burning fiercely.

Using his blood as fuel, flames erupted high into the sky.

The flames flickered continuously. After several seconds, they suddenly pointed in a specific direction.

The Beast Emperor said, "Found it! It's hidden quite well. Fortunately, I have my methods."

Where the flames pointed appeared to be an ordinary mountain wall—nothing unusual at first glance.

The Beast Emperor led Lin Moyu over and followed the flame's guidance to pull at something with his hand.

From the mountain wall, he pulled down an entire piece of bark.

The bark was large—several meters wide and tall—but it was already withered and lifeless.

It seemed to have some special purpose. After removing the bark, Lin Moyu discovered a cave behind it.

Even his spiritual perception hadn't detected this cave earlier; clearly, this bark was extraordinary.

Lin Moyu examined it carefully and was slightly startled. "Is this Withering and Flourishing Elder's bark?"

The Beast Emperor said, "To be precise, it's dead bark left behind after Withering and Flourishing shed his skin."

Lin Moyu asked in confusion, "Withering and Flourishing sheds skin?"

The Beast Emperor nodded, "Withering and Flourishing isn't an ordinary tree. His true form is called the Thousand-Layer Tree. Every ten thousand years, he sheds his skin once."

"Each time he sheds skin, his power increases slightly. After accumulating this process a thousand times, he can advance one realm."

"For example, from ninth-grade innate soul in Great Dao realm to eighth-grade innate soul."

Lin Moyu clicked his tongue in amazement. "There's actually such a tree!"

Shedding skin every ten thousand years to advance once every ten million years—if time were sufficient—wouldn't that mean Withering and Flourishing Elder could theoretically improve infinitely?

Combined with Great Dao realm beings' immunity to aging—wouldn't that mean Withering and Flourishing Elder had no limits?

The Beast Emperor guessed what Lin Moyu was thinking and laughed heartily. "Of course it's not that simple! When completing a thousand sheds of skin—he must undergo a trial—you can think of it as heavenly punishment. If he passes—he advances; if not—he perishes completely."

Indeed—the Great Dao is fair; everything must remain balanced.

The Beast Emperor tossed the bark to Lin Moyu. "This bark is decent material; Brother Lin should keep it."

Lin Moyu accepted it without hesitation—the bark was indeed good material—judging by its quality—it was at least eighth-level Dao Venerable grade.

"It seems Withering and Flourishing Elder is truly full of treasures," Lin Moyu joked as he followed the Beast Emperor into the cave.

The Beast Emperor said seriously: "You're right! The Thousand-Layer Tree is full of treasures! In fact—in realms beyond—the Thousand-Layer Tree has been hunted by powerful beings who kill them for their sap—to refine pills—and use other parts for crafting tools."

"So someone like Withering and Flourishing returning to realms beyond won't necessarily have an easy life; he'll have to tread carefully."

"This guy really is pitiful—preparing for so many years on the Origin Continent only for everything to end in failure."

Lin Moyu suddenly felt some sympathy for Withering and Flourishing Elder—being constantly targeted must be unbearable.

The cave was deep; after several twists and turns—they finally reached its end.

After rounding one last corner—a brilliant light appeared before them along with a faint fragrance filling their senses.

What was strange was that before turning this corner—they hadn't noticed anything at all—all light and scent had been completely sealed off until now.

Lin Moyu saw a small pool—not more than one meter across—with a thin layer of transparent liquid inside emitting that faint fragrance.

At its center lay something fist-sized resembling a seed—but radiating dazzling light—and within that light—Lin Moyu sensed sharp energy emanating from it.

The Beast Emperor smiled: "I wasn't wrong—it really is a Great Dao Sword Core!"

Lin Moyu asked curiously: "What is a Great Dao Sword Core?"

The Beast Emperor explained: "A Great Dao Sword Core is a treasure nurtured by the Sword Great Dao itself—a supreme treasure for sword cultivators."

"It has many uses—it can be refined into an unparalleled sword—or used to temper one's sword intent—or even enhance one's soul level."

"The eighty-one swords suppressing heaven and earth were all made from Great Dao Sword Cores as their fundamental material."

"Ten thousand years ago—with formations—Withering and Flourishing Elder pulled something down from beyond—and I suspected then it might be this—and I wasn't wrong!"
